TOKYO PLAZA HOTEL, Tokyo

Shin-Okubo Station is 2 minutes on foot, and Okubo Station is similarly close, both on the JR Yamanote Line making Shinjuku reachable in 2 minutes by train. The nearest subway station is a 10-15 minute walk. The hotel is a 12-minute drive from Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and 22 minutes from Meiji Jingu Shrine. Tokyo Imperial Palace is 10 km away. The surrounding streets are lined with restaurants, cafes (Starbucks, McDonald's), convenience stores (Lawson, 7-Eleven, Family Mart), pharmacies, and a 24-hour Don Quijote supermarket next door. Kabukicho and central Shinjuku are within walking distance (about 1 km). The area is safe at night.

Room types include Single, Double (140 cm wide bed), Twin (two semi-double 122 cm beds), Triple (double + single bed), and Quadruple (two semi-double beds). All rooms have air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, electric kettle, carpeted floor, fridge, and private bathroom with bathtub, shower, hairdryer, and toiletries. Double beds are firm - choosing a twin room provides softer mattresses. Rooms are cleaned daily, and free daily housekeeping is included. Some rooms facing the street may experience noise from night-time unloading activities. The property uses traditional physical keys, not key cards.

The hotel's cafe offers a basic, non-buffet breakfast set (availability and cost should be verified at booking). The same space transforms into a bar in the evenings. There is no full restaurant on site. A dining area on the lobby floor provides free coffee and tea, useful for enjoying takeaway food from nearby 7-Eleven, Family Mart, or Lawson. Dozens of restaurants, ramen shops, sushi places, and cafes are within a three-minute walk, including Karaoke-Kan and various Korean and Japanese eateries.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the rooms.
